When police pulled over a driver in front of a Boardman Terrace residence early Tuesday, it turned out to be more than a routine stop.

Police stopped Vasile Dunca, 31, of 1300 East St., New Britain, for a routine sobriety check. As the officer began to administer the tests, Petre Mosor, 37, came out of his 55 Boardman Terrace home and began to interfere with the officer. Mosor's wife, Nela, 31, came out to calm her husband down.

As the officer attempted to arrest Petre Mosor, Nela Mosor jumped on the officer's back to help free her husband, police said. When Petre Mosor tried to crawl into his house, a pane on the front door was broken, police said.

Additional officers were called and Mosor was sprayed with pepper spray.

Petre and Nela Moser were both charged with interfering with an officer and breach of peace. Dunca, who did not interfere with the arrests, was charged with driving while intoxicated.
